Knots Coffee Roasters

Chic boho setting Coffee shop right opposite to the Beach. Its in the Lobby of Queen Kapi'olani Hotel and this was right opposite to our Airbnb. Grabbed our cuppa and enjoyed the buzz of the lobby with people and beach goers. Good place to chill with a book and get some work done as well. Staff were friendly and my Latte tasted nice.

We have this routine of getting an espresso drink and pastry in the mornings when traveling elsewhere. We walked up Kapahulu and back down Monsarrat only to arrive back at QK lobby. The Americano was good and the pastries were very good (especially warmed up). This is surprising to find good pastries in the area. The environment with high ceilings and quasi- plein aire seating is relaxing.

Best coffee in Waikiki…I had it twice every single day for 8 days bec we stayed at the hotel. Tried other places from Island Vintage to those out at Haleiwa and I would always choose this. Sometimes service can be better there. Highly recommend the coconut macadamia nut latte or the longboard latte.

This is my favorite coffee shop in Waikiki. Delicious Coffee with very interesting recipes for different drinks, I personally get the breezy brown sugar latte and I love it. If you live or work in the area, they have an amazing membership deal for a daily drink from a select list, including lattes. I usually don't buy coffee everyday even though I want coffee everyday, so needless to say their membership has completed my life. Beyond coffee, there is so much beautiful, open space to meet with others or work on your laptop and still enjoy the day. They have plenty of power outlets along the comfy bench seating and even more at the high top tables. The outlets also have usb ports, which is just icing on the cake. The wifi was fast enough for me to have a zoom call without issues so it’s totally usable for quick remote work requirements. The cafe might close at 4pm, but the sitting area is still open afterwards.

The coffee is excellent and the non coffee options like Kombucha are good. The staff are friendly and efficient and the decor is relaxing. The reason for 4 stars is that there are people with lap tops that set up and monopolize space ,for hours. I think they need to have a policy in place;perhaps one hour allowed so that people don’t monopolize space. It is especially not right for hotel guests
